Acciona’s third consecutive attempt at Dakar Rally with race’s only fully-electric vehicle In case you’ve never heard of them, Acciona is a Madrid-based energy conglomerate with a focus on infrastructure projects and a commitment to green energy sources. They announced today that they will be competing in the Dakar 2017 for the third year in a row with the message that “we believe 100% in the potential of renewable energy,” according to a post on their Facebook page. The company is excited that their vehicle, which they have named 100% EcoPowered, is “the only vehicle in the competition that will not consume a single drop of fossil fuel.” And before you assume that why it fell out of the race before was due to it running out of charge, that was not the case. It's a very tough race but EV's need to make their appearances on these proving grounds, and for improvements to be realised in their overall design and operation. See http://ift.tt/2hh8Cz5
